Four more years !

It's the election day in US motherfucking A. I'm wondering what to do. Due to yesterday's accident, I have a hangover. But I will go to details little later about my hangover. I really, really, hope for Obama to win these elections. I think we've seen enough of Republican bullshit over the years. Yes, I think it's trendy, and almost retarded, to hate Bush and Republic party nowadays.

Sorry for lack of posts for few days. We were drinking Friday, more than enough I'd say, and I received one of my legendary two day hangovers. So basically I managed to accomplish something on Monday. Monday we had our first school day, topic was Law & Society. Nice American teacher with a lot to say, I really enjoyed it.

Then after school we went to this shopping mall called MBK. I bought few shirts and boxers, again with nice prices. Then we went to eat to this really great Japanese restaurant. I ate chili chicken with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Rrrreally great!

After MBK we took the Skytrain near this big bridge next to river. Because every taxi driver refused to drive us there, since there was some horrific traffic jam. Skytrain was shit expensive compared to everything, but really nice experience. Then we found ourselves close to The Dome Tower. It's this really cool tall building, where in the roof is a bar called Sirocco. Needless to say the view was INSANE! We drank few long island ice teas, then moved to other side of the tower where we drank beers and Mojitos. I've read that you can find the best Mojitos in Asia at this place. Don't know about that, but it was easily the best Mojito, maybe the best drink, I have ever drank. Next time we're gonna dine at that place also, too bad we weren't hungry. Though eating there is pretty expensive, a full meal with drinks will be easily more than 100€. But who cares, it's an experience of life time. When we were preparing to leave, they brought a Jazz band to play at the rooftop, crazy.

After this we decided to go somewhere for a drink. We took a Tuktuk and asked the driver to take us to some bar. Surprisingly once again, they tried to fuck us up, and take us to a Go Go bar. Go Go bars are basically over expensive bars where you go sit, and the owner puts all the girls in line before you, and you pick the girl you want. Then you're almost forced to buy something for the girl also. After a while, the owner comes and asks if you'd like to take the girl outside, to disco, home or anything. Then you're asked to pay a fee, if you agree, you can take the girl out. Believe it or not, I find this pretty disgusting and have very little to nothing interest to be a part of something like that. So we skipped these bars and found some English style pub.

We sat at the patio of the pub and took few beers. Then this guy came to sell us some sticks, which looked like food. We declined, but after 10 seconds an elephant walked on the street. Those snacks were meant for us to feed the elephant, Bad beat! Would have been fun to do that, even though I really don't like the fact that they keep an elephant on the streets of Bangkok.

After this we went to this Irish pub called Jameson. There we again took some beers, and what do you know, a live band starts to play. The band was simply awesome. They had a really good guitarist, piano player, drummer and two female singers. Every member of the band sang some songs, which was cool. They played songs from Bob Marley to Robbie Williams. Here's a really nice cover of Knocking On Heaven's Door.



After the gig, the band came to talk with us. Mostly because we were the only ones sitting in the front row and clapping after every song. We ended up talking and drinking with them a lot. They invited us to Pattaya with them to drink at 14-16th, or something like that. Because Queen had died and no school, work etc then. They are playing at the same pub almost every evening until the end of this year, so guess we'll go check them out pretty soonish. We are actually thinking of going today, since no school tomorrow. They also promised to play Sweet Child of Mine today from Guns N Roses, because Tommy asked for that.

On more lighter note, no losing days in Poker at Thailand. Heater goes on!

Today's song will be a song from Aerosmith called Sunshine. It's because it has been raining whole day today, and I'd like to have some sunshine. Tho this song really has nothing to do with the actual sunshine, but anyway, enjoy!



PS. Sorry for the shitty writing again. I'm in a hurry to write this, if we're heading to Jameson today. Maybe I will double check this later, most likely not.

Have fun !
